No preview for Canon 40D Raws?

Hi,
I got a problem with my new Canon 40D. Everything works fine, Lightroom supports the Camera Raw but there are no previews shown in the import dialog.
Sometimes i got pictures on the camera from different locations or shootings and seeing which pictures to import where would be helpful.
If i shoot jpegs they are shown, but i really don't need them and they do only waste the space on my memory card...
Is it a known problem? Will it be resolved in the next version? Or can i do anything to make it work?
By the way, i tried to install Microsofts RAW Image viewer to get previews in the explorer but here i got the same problem - it seems not to be able to read ma Raws.

Hello and thank you
first to ElliR - i tried dbmagic and it shows the previews in windows explorer - thank you very much. Unfortunately it does not support filmstrip view. Do you know if the next bigger version (plus) does this?
Back to my origninal question: it is definitly a thing between the camera and windows!
I'm shooting "full size" RAWs and when i connect the camera to my PC, i do not have previews in Lightroom or in windows explorer (even with the above dbmagic installed).
When i put the memory card (extreme III 4 GB) into a card reader connected to the PC both are working: i see previews in Lightroom as well as in windows explorer (i didn't try that earlier).
So it seems to be windows/microsoft to be the "guilty" - does it make any sense to report this behaviour to microsoft or anywhere else?
For my personal workflow i would prefer not always to fumble the card out of the camera, search my card reader and so on.

  • Canon 40D RAW (CR2) Files import

    I've Photoshop and Aperture. Cannot install Elements which would be my preference - so help needed here.
    Also - I use iPhoto mostly in the latest Apple OS, yet I cannot import Canon 40D RAW files. I get an error message saying they could not be imported - import failed.
    Help please.

    Freshacre:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What version of PS Elements are you trying to install? I've installed the PSE 6 demo without any problem.
    What type of files are you trying to import and from where?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • When will iphoto accept Canon 40D raw files?

    When will iphoto accept Canon 40D raw files? I have a new camera and would love to use the raw files in iphoto. No luck so far. Aperature seems to lack the abilty to open them also. Anyone here as to when iphoto will be updated?

    Hi again.
    No, I don't use aperture, I tried the demo and liked it, but I'd previously bought the commercial version of Pixmantec RawShooter converter for my 10D - Pixmantec were 'bought out' by Adobe, and Adobe generously offered all RawShooter purchasers a free licence for Lightroom, which I also like a lot (though haven't fully got to grips with), so can't currently justify Aperture too.
    The one thing I'd say about Aperture is that the colour management for some reason just nailed the colours when printing using canned profiles, in a way other apps hadn't on Windows (including QImage). I was particularly impressed by this using an old Epson 1290S A3+ printer which always tended to produce prints with a colour cast.
    iPhoto seems to handle RAW conversions very well and simply, although it's not as refined as the high end apps. This together with organising features are probably what make you find it so easy. Remember though that when you display/tweak RAW files, iPhoto will be creating a file to store these changes as the RAWs do not get directly manipulated. As all this is done behind the scenes again this probably makes it seem easy.
    If you don't have Aperture or Lightroom, both were available for 30 day demo last time I checked.

  • When will LR read Canon 40D RAW files?

    Any ideas when Adobe will post an update for the new Canon 40D RAW files?
    Neither LR 1.1 or ACR 4.1 can read them.
    Thats the major problem when new camera models are introduced and one have got used to the LR workflow.

    I know that when the 30D came out, it was not similar to the 20D. One main difference as these new models come out is that they are higher resolution than their predecessors. There was a hack that came out shortly after the 30D came out that managed to make ACR work by using the 1D Mark II specification (I think), but it did not work reliably.
    At the time, the history was that ACR was being updated about every 4 months if for nothing more than to accommodate new cameras. If you assume that that pace would continue, then ACR would be "due" late September, and LR maybe a month after that.
    That is pure speculation on my part based on history, no guarantees, of course.

  • Aperture 2.1 doesn't lift Raw Fine Tuning for Canon 40D

    Anyone know what's going on here. I can lift all adjustments including raw fine tuning with all my cameras (Canon 1D Mark III; 1Ds Mark III; Mark IIN) except for the 40D. For some reason when I click the Lift button on 40D images the Raw Fine Tuning option in the lift hud doesn't appear. Only Adjustments, Main Rating, IPTC and Custom. I've tried quitting Aperture and restarting. I've also tried rebooting. Problem persists.

    First, make sure that you are using full RAW files not RAWs. RAW s is a smaller size setting in the camera which has not been supported by Aperture in the past. Second, try rebuilding your Aperture database. I have a Canon 7d and use RAW. It works fine on my system. You can try reinstallation but if your problem is the RAW version or your database, reinstallation will not address the problem.

  • Camara Raw for Canon 40D

    Any news please on when the Camera Raw plugin will be upgraded so it can read and load the new Canon 40D Camera raw files?
    and Sraw files (though this is not so important)

    Ramón, it's OK to be a satisfied customer but you come across as some sort of wild-eyed, fan boy-cheerleader. Jeff or Thomas have merely to utter a word and you're there confirming it and acting tough. I mean how many times have you reminded readers who Thomas Knoll is? How can you be a "user" if you have time to respond with hundreds of posts in a short period of time?
    So can you just cool it a bit? The forum will be OK without you defending Adobe's honor on every other post. Thomas and Jeff are big boys and they can take the punishment. There are times when users, including me, are upset at Adobe about some issue. Your "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!" attitude doesn't really add to the conversation at that point.
    I usually avoid personal attacks but enough is enough. Just settle down and relax! The world's leader in image manipulation software is going to take some heat occasionally. It's their software and their job to answer users' questions.

  • Canon 40D RAW Files and Leopard???

    Hi all,
    Haven't actually bought Leopard yet (have to wait till pay day!!) but have a pretty serious question to ask.
    Has anyone tried opening the RAW files from a Canon 40D on Leopard?? Just I know that in 10.4.10 they are simply unsupported. Just in case no-one has access to a 40D at the moment, here is a link to a 40D RAW file (zipped). If someone would be so kind as to try it out and post back, I would really appreciate it!! It's killing me having to use JPG in Aperture!!!

    Yes, 40D raw files are now able to be opened by Preview.
    I just upraded to Leopard, and in addition to confirming that 40D files are now recognized by Preview, iPhoto'08 and Aperture, I noticed another interesting new feature.
    - in Leopard, you don't even need to open Preview or any other app to view RAW files.
    the new Quick Look feature in the Finder views all sorts of files right from the Finder, including 40D RAW files.
    Just tap the spacebar with any image file (or files) selected in the Finder, and up pops the Quick Look window. works for RAW or JPEG. you can switch to full screen view too. if you have more than 1 file selected you can view index sheet or slideshow, like the old right-click feature in Tiger. works in any Finder view - icon, list, browser and Cover Flow too. looks very handy.
    p.s. the Finder Get Info in Leopard now correctly displays EXIF data, including proper shutter speed and aperture (Tiger did not display aperture, and shutter speed was awkwardly displayed in decimal, not a common fraction)

  • Aperture and Canon 40D RAW

    When will Aperture support RAW from my Canon 40D?
    In the meantime how should I handle my RAW images? Can I import them into Aperture now with metadata attached and when the support is there all my photos and metadata will appear?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The first question has been asked many times in the last 4 weeks and there's no answer. Ask more and Apple will lock this thread.
    Second question. If you shoot RAW only, Aperture will import the file, and you won't be able to see it or work with it. You can export it to use Canon's DPP, Photoshop or other available converter to process it, save it to TIFF or JPEG, and then reimport to Aperture for now.
    If you shoot RAW and JPEG, Aperture will import both files, but it's not apparent where the JPG file is. Control-click or right-click the grey square thumbnail or the reddish main window, and click "New Version from Master JPEG" to reveal the full-resolution JPEG image the camera took.
    When OSX starts supporting 40D in the future, those RAW files will automatically be shown inside Aperture.

  • Cannot recognize Canon 40D RAW file

    My Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot recognize the raw files generated in my Canon 40D, however this camera is on the list of recognized cameras. This camera generates files with extension .cr2. I downloaded the updates to photoshop CS3 and the DNG Converter 4.3.1, but still no luck. I am working on a Mac, if that makes any difference. Any suggestions on what else I can try?
    Thanks.

    >I downloaded the updates to photoshop CS3
    Did you also download, decompress and correctly install the ACR 4.3.1 plug-in, replacing the old one in the same location? Are you sure you downloaded and install the Mac version of said plug-in and not the Windoze version?
    When you go to the Photoshop menu > About Plug-in , does ACR 4.3.1 show up there and only once?
    Did you purge the Cache for each folder through the Tools menu in Bridge after that?
    All of that has to be done precisely according to the very detailed instructions.

  • Accurate colour profile for Canon 40D?

    Hi all,
    I have an Canon 40D but unfortunately my colour checker is not compatible with the new DNG Profile Editor (it's a PerfectPix Natural).
    Has anyone here made a profile for the 40D using the Gretag colour checker that they'd be happy to share with me? I realise that your 40D may not replicate colours in exactly the same way as my camera, however it's got to be closer than any of my other profile options at the moment.
    Thanks in advance,
    James
    PS... I hope this request isn't inappopriate, the user to user forum for Camera Raw seemed like the best place.

    Hi David/Eric,
    I understand what you mean about the contrast, however I am comfortable that my images are exposed correctly on the whole. I guess it's just very hard to quantify, and very hard to prove, where my images are not "right" colour wise.
    I also realise that white balance plays a major role in this type of subjective comparison... The issue I'm finding is that when I am flicking between profiles for an image there are times I just can't find anything that's right.
    Maybe the biggest issue, at least in part, is perception. When analyzing an example image I've seen the following behaviour for each profile:
    - Camera Standard is probably best, but while on this example it's okay, in some images it's over-saturated.
    - Adobe Standard is close, probably slightly too green.
    - ACR 4.4 is up there too, best in some cases but can have issues with skin tones.
    - Camera Faithful is next on the list but tends to look flat and lifeless (even though no change other than profile).
    - Camera Portrait makes faces too pink and skies too blue. In general it seems to over-saturate.
    - Camera Landscape makes faces look pretty good, but skies and landscapes are WAY over saturated.
    - Camera Neutral looks relatively good colour wise but has no contrast and looks under saturated.
    The problem is, in this one example they've behaved in a certain way. In another example (even one where I've manually white balanced) they'll behave differently... suddenly Camera Standard will look terrible and ACR4.4 will look the best... or Adobe Standard.
    I guess the issue is I'm just not confident that LR is reproducing the colours that the camera saw... but only because I don't think the profile is right. Once I know that the profile is right (and whether I'm being silly or not, I would be satisfied that Joe Blog's 40D is going to be almost identical to my 40D) then I'll know that the faces look a little red because I've got my white balance wrong. Right now there are three that are "close" to what I saw, but I'm not confident that any of them are spot on.
    I hope this makes sense. I'm not attempting to be difficult, to be honest I figured that the creation of the Profile Editor would lead to a proliferation of downloadable camera profiles that were supposedly "colourmetrically accurate" for each camera... maybe I'm just a little quick on the bandwagon.
    Cheers,
    James
    PS. I realise that colour gamut of the monitor plays into this also, but I am assuming that if I can SEE that the colours are too saturated then I'm not exceeding the gamut... I guess it's possible that my "washed out" profile Camera Faithful is exceeding the gamut and subsequently doesn't look very good?

  • Camera Raw 4.4.1 has bug with Canon 40D raw files

    I shoot with the Canon 20D, 30D, 40D, 1DMII, and the Rebel XTI. The Raw processor is showing an anomaly only with the 40D files. When I load raw images, and when the image is displayed, it is shown at one setting. Then in 3 seconds, its updated again at about 1/2 stop brighter. Each time I click on another image on the left column, same thing. The new image is displayed, then 3 seconds later, updated at about 1/2 stop brighter. THe histogram reflects the changes showing the data moving to the right. This only happens with the 40D raw files.
    Whats up?
    It happens regardless if "Auto" or "Default" is selected. I use "default" as a norm, never letting PS do an auto correction.
    How do I stop Camera Raw from doing the second update? This has to stop.

    Thanks John,
    Now moved to ACR -

  • Photoshop CS6 No lens profiles (lens correction filter) for Canon 6D raw files

    LightRoom and Camera Raw have profiles for Lens Correction and all the current available lens are  in the list for the Canon 6D raw files. BUT the Filter/Lens Correction when in Photoshop CS6 only have 2 Tamron lens listed. Odd that there are lens profiles for the Canon 6D raw files  in Lightroom and Camera RAW but not CS6 Filter/Lens Correction.
    Camera RAW, LR and PS are up to date..... NOTE: I have a Canon 7D, G11 and 1D Mark II N and all their files work as expected. It's only RAW files created by the Canon 6D.
    Any suggestions.

    To the right of where it says Search Criteria, click the little three-bars-arrow icon and uncheck Match Sensor Size and it should find more.

  • Adobe Bridge CS3 - does not display thumbnails for Canon 40D or 50D RAW files

    I wanted to use Bridge to view my Canon EOS 50D RAW files and it does not display the thumbnails, just icons. I checked my 40D cr2 files and saw same thing.
    I have purged the cache and rest the cache preferences and it has not helped. I would like to be abl eto view the thumbnails of the RAW files via Bridge if possible. Jpg files and Tif files can be viewed without any issues.
    Am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9 and Pshop CS3 10.0.1

    I have the exact same problem. I can view my RAW file thumbnails (which are .ARW files from my Sony A200 camera) in the Finder and in other applications, such as Preview, but not in Adobe Bridge CS3. I know that I did try purging the cache at one point to see if that would fix it, but then I didn't know what to do after that. Before I purged the cache, I was able to view RAW thumbnails in Bridge, but then they would not increase in size when I tried using the slider (at the bottom right of the Bridge window)

  • Cs3 extended bridge not previewing canon 40d raw files

    ok, i just loaded cs3 extended onto my laptop and when i opened bridge the fist time i got a error message that these were not the the right king of file. so my next step was to update ACR to 4.5. i intalled that and put the plugin into files directory. that worked, but now my problem is that bridge will not preview my raw files in bridge. i then went to tool and purge the cache and that also didn't work. so my next step was to update bridge to 2.1.1. so i went back to tool to purge the cache and it still not preview raws in bridge. i converted  several to jpegs and they show up in bridge. i am at a loss of what to do next
    thanks

    The ACR plug in has to be in correct folder and only one copy there.  If you copied it there the old copy my be present so delete or rename it.
    The ACR plug in does not go in the plug in directory. 
    It goes in Program Files/COMMON Files/Adobe/plugins/CS3/file formats.   Should be one file here - Camera Raw.8bi
    I think when you get this sorted out it should work.
